Exciting ideas? YouTube will be able to recommend videos based on “color”
If you are a fan of YouTube services, I believe that most of you are users who mostly pursue “visual needs” of film and television content – although. There are also. music. Service.
It seems that YouTube always knows how to test the various possibilities of the audio and video platform through experimental functions. This time I thought of starting with the “color theme”, which was found on the homepage of some people’s YouTube app. Now the user is suddenly asked “Craving something new? (Are you eager to try something new?)” and paired with three circles with color descriptions that look a bit like a color palette to choose from.
“Create a feed of videos based off color, and enjoy exploring.（創造一個以顏色為主題的影片推薦，盡情探索吧。）”
According to tests by media outlets that have already obtained this feature, it was found that after selecting a “red, green or blue” color theme ball, YouTube will pop up a recommendation column named after that color.
The videos seen in this column currently appear to be filtered simply and violently based on the color of the video thumbnails. For example, blue will see video thumbnails with large blue skies or background color blocks listed in the recommendation column; red filter tabs will display red vehicles or red cartoon characters.

Speaking of which, “Will anyone really choose a video because of the color difference in the thumbnail?” Similar questions include foreign media and users who have received reports of this feature on forums.
Some people pointed out in this section that this may be a survey-based function that is relatively biased towards personal preferences. However, from the author’s point of view, I feel that this is an interesting entry point for seeking fresh films. Foreign media also gave examples. Platforms such as YouTube have actually introduced the function of randomly selecting content to watch and play.

I can only say that if you really like a certain color. After receiving this function, you can ask AI to help you organize it at any time, including your favorite colors and various surprise movie recommendations based on your personal video viewing preferences. In fact, it is also a pretty good way to seek entertainment.
At this stage, it is facing challenges from short-form video platforms such as Douyin. YouTube has recently made many improvements and even experimental functions that integrate the needs of long- and short-form video users. Have you received this innovative feature of recommending videos through color themes? Do you think the recommended videos are particularly pleasing to the eye? You can share your thoughts with us!
